Do you have a tattoo?
Discussion

I've had a few hours done today, was meant to be a full day but my skin just bleeding too much! So we called time, going to let it recover and go again hopefully soon.
Anyone else had it bleed too much and what have you done to combat it?
Not with bleeding but sometimes with pain. I can sit for hours and not feel any, then another time I want out after ten minutes! I think it depends on what I’ve eaten / drank. Maybe the same for the bleeding? Had you taken any Aspirin for example? Certain medications that thin the blood perhaps or food/drink/herbs or vitamins etc? Berries, Tomatoes, Ginger for example are blood thinners along with loads of other foods. Anyone else had it bleed too much and what have you done to combat it?
I’m back in on Wednesday

This thread is not for you
But it asked the question "Do you have a tattoo?" so I gave an answer! if it was "Show your tattoo to like minded people!", I could understand, but...

Alcohol thins the blood.
I hope that you're not for one minute suggesting not drinking 
I don’t agree - I ve never met a tattooist who would tattoo a drunk person and to be honest you usually need to book weeks or months in advance. I did a long sitting in Bulgaria once - 9 hours over 2 days and the place was next to a bar so I just drank the whole time - but I bled like hell all the way through

Exactly. If all the pubs closed tomorrow, the tattoo and piercing joints would be bust by Tuesday.
The walk ins in Ibiza maybe. TGCOTF-dewey said:
I have... Well had... A nipple ring thanks to an excess of alcohol.
I had a scaffold piercing and a nipple ring pulled out by a drunk person once. Not a laughing experience. My ear is scarred if you look very closely. Nipple is thankfully fine and intact. Edited by Gretchen on Sunday 7th May 20:57

ks. It may be true for cheap walk-in type places in certain locations, but otherwise?
Nah, don't agree with that at all.

Had mine about a year, before I gave up on it.

I have my nape pierced with a flexible bar. Freaks the hell out of my hairdresser. But never had any issues with it.
Three and a half hours this afternoon on my leg. Still wrapped so no pics yet but pretty much finished. Have a session booked beginning of June for touch ups etc and will start adding to my left hand I think.
Used the Tattoo Numbing Cream for first time today just around my ankle as an experiment. Applied an hour and a half before starting, wrapped in cling film. Absolute revelation! This area was outlined a few weeks back and the most painful ever. Today didn’t feel a thing!! Was actually very strange. Only thing I can liken it to is when I had an injected local anaesthetic for a minor op on my finger. Had around an hour in that area and was still numb.
I’d imagine for a dull day or anything more than three hours it would require reapplying. Going to give it another go on the 25th of this month as have a full day booked for new piece.
